The childhood home of Kurt Cobain has had its asking price dropped by $71,000 (£45,000).

The property, based in Aberdeen, Washington State, originally appeared on the market for $400,000 (£250,000) in 2013, before being re-listed as $410,000 (£260,000) earlier this year.

Amid rumours that the owners are having trouble selling due to it being "in need of some serious upgrading", local reports are now claiming that the price has been slashed even further to $329,000 (£210,000).

This follows the news last year that fans were starting a campaign to raise money to turn the 1,522-square foot bungalow into a museum, in the hope of salvaging the "marks and drawings" and a hole punched in the wall by a teenage Cobain.
